    12.14.2024 @6:52pm Called to place order for 2x curry seafood ramen. Spoke with Angela. She the one who usually there whenever I drop by. She remember my last trip here and issues me back credit from last time and even gave me a complimentary drink. She always very friendly and welcoming. Foods quality & taste is pretty good. I have not find any thing to complaint about. And I love the curry ramen. Thank you Angela!

    Service was really quick and friendly. It has not been too busy both times I have come here. Yakitori was pretty good. Vegetable Ramen is packed with stuff and Shoyu Ramen is super salty and savory. I was not a fan of the slices of Chicken in the shoyu Ramen though. Not my favorite. Noodles were awesome texture very firm. Wish egg came with every ramen and was not an extra add on. Overall a good neighborhood spot for quick ramen or take out.

    Kimchee Ramen

    Under new ownership. The food is no longer the quality I have been accustomed. I have ordered from Sakai at least once a month and I have noticed a substantial difference in quality, flavor and execution. I decided to go in person and the meat (beef) was old and inedible. Today I have ordered my favorite kimchi ramen and as you can see the colors are vastly different. The lighter color is from the previous owners. This broth was flavorful, I never had to mix it came perfect and ready. The darker broth has no flavor other than spice. It comes in a shorter bowl which makes it harder to mix and unlike the lighter broth this one needs mixing or you'll just get watery broth and pack of spice at the end. Also the broth comes in a plastic bowl which is piping hot and difficult to pick up and pour. This is really disheartening.

    Meagan and Angela provided top tier customer service. The food was amazing also. We will definitely be back. 3/1 UPDATE- I was unable to give a new review. However, we visited the restaurant again and wanted to update my experience. This place is the best Ramen restaurant in town! The food is top tier, chef's kiss! It's something about their ramen that it extremely flavorful. The shrimp dumplings literally melt in your mouth, and the rock shrimp has an amazing flavor. Don't get me started on the Mai tai. That drink makes me feels like I'm home in the carribean. I'll be back with my boyfriend and mom today. Thanks again, Meagan & Angela! They always make you feel like family!

    The service is very friendly and quick, where the servers spoke both Chinese and English. The interior is nice and cozy, with some cute designs hanging about. The best dish in our opinion was the chicken skin yakitori, which was both very tasty and crispy! The ramen were mediocre and didn't taste or look too amazing. The hawker chicken was flavorful but seemed a bit small. Overall we had a decent experience and would definitely come back to try their other yakitori selections. I hope they can continue to improve on their ramen to make it even better! Thank you for reading and good luck! (:

    On the way go EWR airport, we made a stop in Staten Island for lunch. I was craving ramen and found this spot. It was a warm day, so the AC blasting once we walked in was really nice. For two, we ordered one of the Combo Specials, which included two Sakai Ramen ($13.50), one Gyoza ($5.95), and two drinks ($4). We got all of that for a total of $39.99. I did add ask to make my bowl of ramen spicy for an extra dollar and got the Matcha Green Tea for my drink. It's definitely made of powder, but still not bad for a pairing with your boba. The ramen itself was flavorful and delicious. There's lots of toppings and I liked the combination of chicken and pork as well.

    Spot is located inside strip mall/parking lot. A rating; love to see it. Greeted by a drum at the front door. What do you do when you're greeted by a drum? You beat it, duh :) That was a cute added touch to the ambiance. Warmly greeted inside, menus brought to the table, options plenty, tried a few things (not pictured). Fried calamari-6/10, disappointed that it's not fresh calamari used. Really small, not very flavorful. Spring rolls-8/10; really small in size but good. Dumplings 9/10; yum! Chicken ramen-7/10; could've been better. I really disliked the type of noodle they use, wasn't great, wasn't the most flavorful ramen I've ever had, left a lot in my bowl :(. I wanted to love this spot, unfortunately I didn't but it was ok. I would stop by again to try different things/get dumplings lol. Very affordable; lunch for 2 approx $25

    Spicy miso ramen ($1 extra to make it spicy)

    Stumbled upon this place while in Staten Island and veryyy pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food! Would not have expected such great Japanese food in Staten Island but I might have to stop here whenever I'm in the area. I got the spicy miso ramen (they charge $1 extra to make it spicy) and it was so good! Better than the ramen I've had in the city. The broth had great flavor, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and they gave 2 pieces of char shiu. We got a selection of yakitori and they were pretty good too! The bacon wrapped tomato was our favorite. This is an amazing spot in the neighborhood, check it out!

    Came in with family due to long wait another restaurant. We were seated immediately which is really good because we were starving! They have both food and drinks menu. We got the combo yakitori which has peppers, egg plants, fried tofu, bacon wrapped mochi, bacon wrapped cherry tomato, some skin (I forgot which animal), chicken gizzards. I got the miso ramen, the broth and noodles were good! It was flavourful! The ramen includes bamboo shoots, corn, scallions, and fish cake. It was unfortunate that they didn't include an egg. However, they have a topping sections that you can add egg and other toppings for additional fees. The meat was not too thick, it was fatty, chewy and moist! For the drink, I got hana white peach, it was very fragrant! The restaurant is spacious has industrial modern design, staff were attentive and asked if we need help taking a group picture.

    After an eventful day of shopping and walking around on a cold winter day everyone was famished for a bowl of piping hot soup noodles. Lucky for us Sakai was just right around the corner from us and we happily dropped on in. They had lunch specials which included your ramen with soup broth of choice plus a side and a drink. I went with the spicy tonkatsu with gyoza as my side and boy it did not disappoint. The broth was perfectly flavored and had a nice kick, a perfect balance of spice and pork taste. The service was amazing and atmosphere was fun and welcoming. 5 stars from me and will definitely be back!

    Pretty good spot ! Food was alright, didn't really wow me, compare to the ramen I had in the city but it's close enough. Price was fair in my opinion. Average 13-16 dollar for an bowl of ramen. Ordered their combo which comes with the ramen, appetizer ( pork bun ) and a drink, for 20 buck I think it's pretty worth. Only issue was the pork bun, the bun was over steam, or the hot water touched the bottom of the bun, it fell apart once I hold it so that was a no no. But over all I would recommend coming for a visit if you're around Staten Island area.

    I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It's so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I'll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars

    Best ramen spot on Staten Island. Service is great and food is even better! My family and probably go here at least once biweekly.

    The art work is beautiful!

    See all
